Compassion

I would rather feel compassion than know the meaning of it.

Thomas Aquinas

Today, explore how compassion feels to you.

Sympathy

The more sympathy you give, the less you need.

Malcolm S. Forbes

Today, look to see where your sympathy is and where it goes.

Plan B ?

The most successful people are those who are good at plan B.

James Yorke

Today, write down the plan B you currently have - perhaps it has been unacknowledged - and write down the plan B you would like to have.

Things do not change

Things do not change, we change.

Henry David Thoreau

Today, consider how your changes have resulted in a changed perception of things.

Koan puzzle

Just because everything is different doesn't mean that everything has changed.

Irene Peter

Today, ponder that koan! * *Koan: a spiritual puzzle that cannot be solved intellectually but must be comprehended in a flash of intuitive knowing.

Self love

Self-love is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare

We are conditioned that love for the self is wrong, selfish, indulgent, and egocentric, which it is when it comes from the ego. Today, notice how self-neglecting is as selfish and indulgent as the most egocentric self-love.

Serve with Joy

I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

Albert Schweitzer

Many of us are taught to approach service with fear and dread. Service is being required to do what you don’t want to do because it’s the right thing to do and you should do it. What if that’s not true at all? Today, look to see what you would serve with joy.

Appreciate

The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.
William James

Today, find as many things as you can to appreciate and appreciate them. Make a list. Keep notes. Read over your list and notes at the end of the day. Be sure you are on the list! 146

Love

Love is not a matter of getting what you want. Quite the contrary. The insistence on always having what you want, on always being satisfied, on always being fulfilled, makes love impossible.
Thomas Merton

Today, find the moments in which you can trade getting what you want, being satisfied and fulfilled, for love. Notice how that feels.

Untitled

The remarkable thing is that we really do love our neighbor as ourselves. We do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. Eric Hoffer Today, consider how love, tolerance, and forgiveness for yourself would change your relationship with the world.

Risk taking

Thank you, Readers

If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. American Indian proverb

Today, make a list of ten things you are thankful for.

The Six Enemies of Greatness (and Happiness) - Forbes

The Six Enemies of Greatness (and Happiness)
These six factors can erode the grandest of plans and the noblest of intentions. They can turn visionaries into paper-pushers and wide-eyed dreamers into shivering, weeping balls of regret. Beware!

 

 1) Availability

We often settle for what’s available, and what’s available isn’t always great. “Because it was there,” is an okay reason to climb a mountain, but not a very good reason to take a job or a free sample at the supermarket.

 2) Ignorance

If we don’t know how to make something great, we simply won’t. If we don’t know that greatness is possible, we won’t bother attempting it. All too often, we literally do not know any better than good enough.

 3) Committees

Nothing destroys a good idea faster than a mandatory consensus. The lowest common denominator is never a high standard.

 4) Comfort

Why pursue greatness when you’ve already got 324 channels and a recliner? Pass the dip and forget about your grand designs.

5) Momentum

If you’ve been doing what you’re doing for years and it’s not-so-great, you are in a rut. Many people refer to these ruts as careers.

6) Passivity

There’s a difference between being agreeable and agreeing to everything. Trust the little internal voice that tells you, “this is a bad idea.”

via forbes.com

Purpose - Focus

This is the true joy of Life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one... the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. George Bernard Shaw

Today, consider what mighty purpose you could give yourself to. (Any voices telling you such a thing is not possible are not part of today’s focus!)

Single lovely action

All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.

James Russell Lowell

Today, give yourself a “single lovely action.”

Keep in mind that it doesn’t say big single lovely action.

What do mostly

What do you mostly speak, read, write or listen about?

Things, people or ideas?

Service is in the Attitude

A friend once inquired if Gandhi's aim in settling in the village and serving the villagers as best he could was purely humanitarian. Gandhi replied, "I am here to serve no one else but myself, to find my own self-realization through the service of these village folk."

Today, look to see how you would view service if you truly realized all service is for your own self-realization and freedom.

Extraordinary Indian: A postman who saves lives! - Rediff.com News

Meet a postman who has been extending a healing hand to cancer victims and families who have lost their only earning member to cancer.

In our series on Extraordinary Indians, Manu A B meets S Babu in Thiruvananthapuram.

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things. This postman has walked that extra mile every day to save people's lives, even as he delivered letters in his neighbourhood.

A saviour for many cancer patients, S Babu works at the Kowdiar post office in Thiruvananthapuram. His goodwill and sincere efforts have saved the lives of countless patients in Kerala's capital city.

For the last four years, the 56-year-old postman has been extending a healing hand to cancer victims and some families who have lost their only earning member to cancer.

"People have great regard for him. It is great to see how he leverages the opportunity of meeting people while on the job for a noble cause," says Sobha Koshy, chief postmaster general, Kerala circle.

"With their support, he reaches out to poor cancer patients. It is a unique gesture where a person makes his work more meaningful and, at the same time, helps humanity at large. His goal is to give back to society," adds Koshy.

Besides donating funds and arranging meals for poor cancer patients, Babu has actively taken part in organising a free cancer diagnosis camp in Thiruvanathapuram.

"It is shocking to see how poverty forces many patients to skip meals during cancer treatment. Though the government offers a 20 per cent discount in treatment expenses to BPL (Below the Poverty Line) citizens at the Regional Cancer Centre, many can't afford the treatment or eat food during treatment. It is heartbreaking to see their plight," says Babu

Delivery boys, taxi drivers risk death everyday - Rediff.com Business

The worst exposed are the food delivery boys. With traffic on the roads worsening by the day, more and more Indians prefer to order a meal home.

Eateries - fast food chains, restaurants as well as the neighbourhood dhaba - know this is a good way to expand business, so long as they deliver the food hot and fast.

Though most don't set a time limit (the exception is pizza chain Domino's which promises to deliver in half an hour), there is pressure on the delivery boys to be quick; the faster they deliver, the better the business. The need for speed makes them risk limb and life.

Domino's maintains that its delivery system and time commitment is borne out of a very scientific design.

"Every store can deliver only to areas within 10 minutes' drive time - which is restricted to a radius of about 3km, a standard we follow for all our stores across the country," says Domino's Pizza India Vice-president Harneet Singh Rajpal.

"Once we get the order, it is ready for delivery in about 13 minutes. So our delivery boy has 17 minutes to deliver once he leaves the store with customer's order, which includes a buffer of seven minutes for unforeseen traffic conditions. So there is no pressure on them to rush on road."

Spreading Ideas Horizontally - US Army's Dissent Management

Spreading Ideas Horizontally - US Army's Dissent Management

EVENT REVIEW: “The US experience in Iraq suggests that middle managers, who can see the rot up-close, may be far quicker to adapt. Senior leaders may find their most appropriate role is to enable and encourage this process of bottom-up change” claimed behavioural economist Tim Harford in a Benchmark for Business conference in London last week. Harford spoke about the remarkable tooth-and-nail fight for organisational change the US Army underwent during their occupation of Iraq - and how that organisational change spread from the bottom-up.

In a morning dedicated to solving problems in a complex world, some of Harford’s most insightful case studies regarded warfare. Life and death stakes are a sure-fire way to concentrate the minds of a corporate audience - and what more complex problem than the war in Iraq?

This was a ‘what-not-to-do’ of leadership and it began with the massacre at Haditha, where 24 unarmed Iraqi men, women and children were killed by a group of frightened and frustrated United States Marines in November 2005.

Even in the wake of Haditha, then Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld refused to acknowledge the existence of an insurgency – flatly refused even, to use the word ‘insurgent’. Soldiers were reprimanded for use of ‘the ‘i-word’ – and so too were his chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Several of Rumsfeld’s leading Generals warned of the need for more men. They were not only ignored, they were pushed to the sidelines – cut-out of the inner circle. This was not just a blunt lack of receptivity to differing opinion then, but an active, iron-rod approach to dissent.

How can leadership so hell-bent on saving face that it won’t even utter - or tolerate utterances of - the very word that is their central problem, possibly hope to solve it? And who then would have envisaged that between tragedy in Haditha in 2005 and three years later in 2008 the tide in the Iraq war would have turned, with Al-Qaeda forced into retreat – and how did such a sea change occur?

“A complete transformation of US military strategy deserves much of the credit” says Harford – a transformation set in motion by what he calls the U

We are now on the verge of a 'B-school bubble burst' - Rediff Getahead

Nobody knows the future of AICTE since the ministry of human resource development (MHRD) has been trying to merge it with the proposed NCHER.

Much will depend on the dynamics of the Indian parliament when the NCHER Bill is introduced by MHRD. However, we need an effective regulator for higher education which includes management education also.

In the ideal environment, a regulator will not be expected to behave like an autocrat enjoying unchecked punitive powers in hand.

A good regulator of B-schools should be a professional agency working with a positive mindset, equipped with trained professionals who are in touch the latest in management education and are also connected to Indian and global business via industry bodies and professional associations.

It should be managed by eminent management academicians and industry professionals. They should develop a vision and mission for Indian B-schools based on a comprehensive survey of global business education.

The regulator should establish relationships with Ivy League B-schools and international accreditation bodies like AACSB, EFMD and AMBA.
